The last regular season road trip of the regular season gets underway for the Washington Nationals as they close the ledger against the Atlanta Braves.
You might be surprised these two teams are 8-8 versus each other this year. Against the rest of the division, Washington is 34-17. The Braves have outscored the Nats by 20. Only the Los Angeles Angels and Philadelphia Phillies outscored DC this year.
Do not get lulled into thinking Atlanta is a weak team. Even at 67-81, the Braves play hard every night as their core group of youngsters continue to learn their craft.
